This video features Maui and California skimmers and the world champion Austin Keen. Skimboarding is shorebreak surfing on a finless board. It's much harder than it looks, trust me haha. I shot this over 4 days, 1 day being all golden hour and sunset video. These guys are very talented and I now consider them all friends. This was all shot at Makena (Big Beach) on Maui.

This was shot on my Canon 6D, Ian's 7D, and a GoPro Hero 3+. I used my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens on the Glidecam and 70-200mm 4.0 L on a tripod. This was shot at 1080p @ 30fps and 720p @ 60fps. I edited in Premiere Pro CC. I color graded within Adobe.

The running shots on the sand were done with a Glidecam HD 2000. You can learn more about Glidecam's in the link below. They take a learning curve, but are amazing once you get the hang of em!
